     Festival for Peace: Growing Peace for All Our Children
 
  Saturday, May 10 at 1:00 p.m. in Cathedral Square Park (N. Jefferson and Wells Sts)

The primary theme of Julia Ward Howe's campaign to create a "Mothers Day" was to set it aside as a day for mothers to promote peace in the world for all children. As a pre-mothers' day celebration join with others in committing ourselves to a world without war for our children. There will be speakers, activities for children including planting sunflower seeds in little pots for mother's day gifts, a May pole, a mural, face painting, etc., and tabling for various peace groups.

Co-sponsored by the Peace and International Issues Committee of the Interfaith Conference of Greater Milwaukee, and the Milwaukee Coalition for a Just Peace. (The Office for World Mission participates in both organizations)
